Fw: SOP for hosting services?

2002-05-06 Thread Peter C. Goswick

 Hi,

 I using Macromedia UltraDev to develop my dynamic web site and would like
to
 use mySQL as the RDBMS. My hosting service folks are telling me that I
 should only update my database on their server via update transactions.
They
 say this is for security reasons. UltraDev provides many good tools for
 viewing, adding, updating and deleting records for the database but I'm not
 sure how to produce add/delete/update transactions from UltraDev and I'm
not
 convinced it is necessary to have the added layer of security.

 Is this standard operating procedure when making changes to mySQL databases
 or should I tell them that I want direct access to my database? Any
 help/suggestions/guidelines in this area would be very helpful.

 Thanks.

 Pete
